Steering is tilted...

Hit a huge pot hole now the steering wheel is messed up. When i'm going in a strait line with the car the steering wheel is slightly tilted to the right...it's very odd feeling when driving. The car doesn't drift or sway to one side, just the steering wheel is tiled slightly when going in a strait line. What could be messed up? and will warrenty cover fixing this?

Don't mention the pothole, and ask your dealer for your free alignment !

If you mention it he will probably charge you...

Good chance you may have bent something

Have an alignment done, if the camber or caster are completely out of whack on left vs. right, then you may have bent a control arm.

It would definitly be the front-passenger side...

I know there are 2 on each wheel, but wouldn't I feel some change in suspension? or turning? or going over bumps? Only difference is my steering wheel isn't strait when driving strait?
